Affirmations are a popular tool used for reaching goals. They are statements that are based on the future. Every cell of your being knows the future is not true yet.
Imagine someone standing in front of the mirror with over 200 pounds to lose. They say the affirmation, "I am thin, fit and beautiful". What do you hink happens? Do you think the thoughts and beliefs of this person immediately start to align with this affirmation? Oh wait. What if they were to say it 20 times... would they align then?
Most likely this unsuspecting overweight individual would actually go into a strong emotional reaction which would then tailspin into a horrible eating binge. Can you see the challenge?
How would you change this affirmation into a declaration? By making one simple change it will then be the truth. At the beginning of the statement add, "I'm in the process of being... ".
"I'm in the process of being thin, fit and beautiful".
The most important thing to remember when creating a declaration is that it must be the truth right now. The previous statement, "I am thin, fit and beautiful" will actually slow your goal down significantly. Your mind will be so busy resisting and arguing with the non truth that you will remain stuck for longer than you would like to be.
The following declarations are created for you to use when you first get started with your weight loss success. These statements are formatted differently as you progress throughout your weight loss journey.
